CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

Congestive Heart Failure

Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of “education for patients of congestive heart failure” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on “the education of the patients of congestive heart failure for improving their health” and its relation with “the reduction in hospitalization of patients due to congestive heart failure”. The research also analyzes many aspects of “the early diagnosis of the heart disease” and tries to gauge its effect on “the treatment of heart failure and heart disease”. Finally the research describes various factors which are responsible for “the causes of the disease” and tries to describe the overall effect of “the heart disease” on “heart patients”.

Introduction

The Heart

The heart is the body 's main circulatory system . It is a muscular organ located in the conical chest cavity . It works like a pump, pushing blood through the body. Its size is slightly larger than the fist of the wearer. The heart is divided into four chambers: two upper-called right atrium (right atrium) and left atrium (left atrium) and two lower chambers, called the right ventricle and left ventricle . The heart is an organ muscular self-controlled, a pump applicant and stimulating, consisting of two parallel pumps that work in unison to propel blood to all organs of the body. The atria are chambers of receipt, which send blood to get into the ventricles, chambers that function as expulsion. The right heart receives poorly oxygenated blood from:

The inferior vena cava (IVC), which carries blood from the chest , the abdomen and lower extremities

The superior vena cava (SVC), which receives blood from the upper limbs and head.

The inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava blood pour some peroxide in the right atrium. It gets inside the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve , and from here is driven into the lungs through the pulmonary arteries, right ventricle separated from the pulmonary valve .

Once oxygenated as it passes through the lungs, blood returns to the left heart through the pulmonary veins entering the left atrium. From there it goes to the left ventricle, separated from the left atrium for mitral valve . From the left ventricle, blood is propelled into the aorta through the aortic valve to provide oxygen to all body tissues. Once the different organs have captured the arterial blood oxygen, oxygen-poor blood enters the venous system and returns the right heart. The heart pumps blood through the motions of systole ( atrial and ventricular ) and diastole. Is called the systolic contraction of the heart (either an atrium or a ventricle) to eject blood into the tissues. Diastole is called the relaxation of the heart to receive blood from the tissues. A cardiac cycle consists of a phase of relaxation and ventricular filling (diastole) phase followed by a ventricular contraction and emptying (systole). When using a stethoscope , there are two sounds:

The first corresponds to the contraction of the ventricles with the consequent closure of the atrioventricular ...
